| '''Distros this works under: Universal''' | | '''What this guide accomplishes: Making a USB drive bootable to install Linux.''' | | '''Future edit advisory: I am planning to drop Step 8 and 9 with another option for DVD booting in the future, as I do not see the value in doing DVD media anymore. I will offer a final copy of the previous guide in my own PDF form for download as a option for those who want the DVD steps from before.''' | | '''**DVD step version link**''' | | [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6HsFZ5508HPazYtemRyWlY4Q1E/view?usp=sharing|Google Drive] | | | '''**Used flashdrive note**''' | | | If you are using a used drive, work like this: | | * 5 | | * 6 | | * 7 | | * 1 | | * 2 | | * 3 | | * 4 | | | This is because of how the used flashdrive steps are located in this guide. I intended for this to be limited to new drives only, but I only put that in there as another option if you can't readily afford a new drive, even with how cheap they are. Yes, it's a partial afterthought but it's there in the rare case a new drive isn't an option, or you want to reuse an old drive you bought years ago. The reason formatting is part of the guide is to ensure the integrity of the boot media. It's technically not required for unetbootin, but it's a good idea. |
